Chapter 19: You won’t end up messing with me (Part 1)

Mr. Li wiped his tears and looked pitiful. He said excitedly: "The emperor rashly formed a new army. The so-called "one moves with one move, and the national pattern will inevitably change. Moreover, the emperor has only been half a year since the throne. How can he properly control the unstable situation? Furthermore, * has always been eyeing our dynasty. If any instability occurs in our dynasty, * will inevitably lead the army south to disturb our dynasty. Moreover, Kucha, Dali and other countries that have always been actively suppressed by our dynasty will also take advantage of the situation to rob. At that time, our dynasty will be in danger. The old minister begs the emperor to take back his orders and delay the time to form a new army." As he said that, he bowed and prostrated.

With his leadership, more than a dozen ministers attached their support, and they also knelt down on the ground in order to take back my life.

I don’t have the anger in my heart. Good thing, Master Li, you dare to come out and stab me at the most critical moment. Moreover, I will remember those dozen ministers in my heart. Then, I will deal with you one by one.

I looked at the boy Liu Zhenming, the Minister of Revenue, who originally wanted to participate, but hesitated for a long time, but hesitated for the end. I knew that this boy must be measuring the pros and cons in his heart. The strong attitude I showed in the court in the past two days has regained a lot of trust in me, including this Liu Zhenming. Otherwise, if Master Li came on stage like this, maybe more than half of the court officials would come out to oppose me.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has different opinions." Tao Qian is worthy of being the one I trust. At this critical moment, he finally came out to speak for me: "The old minister believes that what Mr. Li said is purely alarmist."

I was overjoyed and immediately said, "Oh, Tao Aiqing has different opinions, please tell me quickly and refer to me."

"The old minister thinks that the forces that intimidate the nations now are not the Central Army, but the frontier army with strong combat power and the invincible General Yue Chao. Therefore, what Mr. Li said is aimless." Tao Qian said calmly: "Besides, the old minister also agrees with the emperor's proposal. It is a very reasonable saying. Once the army is successfully formed, it will definitely be an army with super combat power. In this way, it will be more able to intimidate the enemy country and prevent it from acting rashly."

"What Tao Aiqing said is very much." I said happily: "I wonder if other Aiqings have any other opinions?"

"Liu Zhenming, the Ministry of Revenue, is in line with what Lord Tao said." To my surprise, Liu Zhenming stepped forward and said with a serious expression, ignoring the glaring eyes of Master Li at him.

This kid finally made up his mind to stand on my side. I guess he was secretly hating him. When he proposed a few days ago, Master Li didn't say anything about his revenge.

As a result, other officials of Liu Zhenming's Ministry of Revenue immediately started to speak out. Tao Qian's entourage of the Ministry of Rites was naturally not to be outdone and stood up to support Tao Qian's remarks.

Xu Liang, the Minister of Works, naturally stood on my side. He led his subordinates to seriously support Tao Qian.

All officials from other departments did not express their opinions and expressed neutrality.

In this way, my voice is no worse than Master Li.

I looked at Master Li and said softly: "Master Li, there are many ministers who support the formation of a new army."

Master Li probably hated Liu Zhenming so much at this moment. Otherwise, if Liu Zhenming was standing on his side, the situation would naturally not be like this.

"Since the old minister cannot make the emperor change his mind, I beg the emperor to agree to the old minister for something." Although Master Li was extremely angry, there was still no expression on his face.

Okay, you old guy, you actually bargained. But it would be nice to hear what he said. Then he said, "Master Li will tell you first. I need to make some estimates before I can agree to you."

"As soon as a result, it is a very risky thing to form a new army and cut the old army. Therefore, the old minister thought of a safe way. That is, when the army is first formed, control the number of troops. Other old army will not cut for the time being to see the future. If the new army is indeed outstanding in combat, then slowly increase the number of places." Mr. Li looked like he was serving the country and the people.

I was so angry that I almost vomited blood. After finally playing a wonderful game, I was finally resolved by the old guy. If the new army was limited in the number of people, it would almost not have much effect. However, what the dead old man said was reasonable. The Han people did things without seeking speed or risk, but they only asked for stability. This safe proposal was naturally followed by many neutral ministers.

Something is wrong, something is wrong. A trace of doubt flashed through my heart. Why did this old man work so hard to limit my strength and ensure the integrity of the original force. The biggest beneficiary of this matter should be the Ministry of War. Could it be that there is any connection between the Ministry of War and Taishi Li?

I observed them with a squinted eyes, but found nothing. That was also a very natural thing. Han Fei, the Minister of War, could not have shown a look of overjoyment at this time.

Humph. No wonder that guy said yesterday that he didn't explicitly object to me. It turned out that he had the back of Master Li.

When I looked at Tao Qian, the old fox suddenly gave me a wink and asked me to compromise. Although I was reluctant, nearly 80% of the ministers in the court had to follow the safe suggestions. Unless I made up my mind and killed them all, I had to compromise.

I also understand that fighting for power is not a matter of one or two. Now that a new army can be formed, I can feel more or less relieved. So I showed a kind look: "I think the proposals of the ministers are feasible. In this way, the scale of the new army is set at 30,000." The 30,000 new army is not much more or less. If the Imperial Guard is well grasped, the direct troops in their hands can reach 60,000, and they are all elite troops, which can also be used for a lot.

Mr. Li's expression changed. He was about to speak out too many times, but at this time he received the look of Han Fei, the Minister of War, and gave up.

Humph, I don’t know what you are doing in secret? I guess I want to use trash guys to pretend to be elites to join the new army. At that time, I will make you vomit blood.

Seeing that no one objected, I immediately told Zhang Huang to go to the hall. Zhang Huang had already been waiting outside the hall for my instructions, so he arrived at the hall.

I told Eunuch Mu to announce the eunuch. I didn't know his surname until I read it.

"The emperor Zhao said, "I was granted the title of General Hongwu, and was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards in the first place, and was appointed as the second rank of General Hongwu. I was honored."

I was shameless and asked the queen to help me draw up the edict. If I had to write it myself, I was afraid that when Eunuch Mu saw my font, he would immediately faint in the hall.

"I obey the order, long live my emperor." Zhang Huang knelt on the ground with a grateful look on his face, stretched out his hands to receive the imperial edict.

"Zhang Huang, don't let down the expectations of the people in the world for you." I said with a smile.

"I must devote myself to my whole life and die until I die, and never let down the expectations of the court and the people." Zhang Huang showed a generous expression.

"Very good, stand aside first and continue the government." I said lightly.

Eunuch Mu immediately helped him arrange it among the second-rank generals. Zhang Huang looked at the other generals kindly, but did not attract favor.

In the following court affairs, I handed the quill pen to the Ministry of Works. After they carefully studied it, I made a standard pen and then mass-produced it. I did not mention that this kind of pen will be popularized in the future, so naturally no one objected.

After Liu Zhenming stood beside me, he naturally regarded Xu Liang as his own person and patted his chest and took the initiative to propose funding. Although Xu Liang was honest in his surname, he was not a person who was unreasonable and was much more polite to Liu Zhenming.

However, Liu Zhenming immediately gave me another big gift, which was a detailed government bond issuance plan. When I was surprised by Liu Zhenming's efficiency in doing things, I couldn't help but feel a little fond of him. Although this guy was greedy for money and lustful, he was a good person when doing things.

I read the planning book in detail. Liu Zhenming's Minister of Revenue was naturally aware of the living conditions of the people in the world.

Moreover, he had a very clear idea of ​​the distribution of wealth of the people across the country. At the same time, he also clearly drew a table with a clear idea, which clearly showed how many poor people, how many rich people, and how many rich people are now. The poor people account for more than 95% of the total population, but they only control less than 10% of the country's wealth.

The rich people account for more than 4.9% of the total population and twenty% of the total wealth.

The other minorities that can reach standard wealth account for about 70% of the wealth.

Liu Zhenming's national debt plan is mainly aimed at the people with the standards of rich people, followed by the rich people, while the poor people are completely voluntarily.

This clear concept makes me very appreciate. This way, the issuance of national debts will not make the poor's day even more sad.

Although all the ministers thought this matter was quite absurd, they were rejected by me one by one. Because Mr. Li had achieved his goal today, he naturally did not want to oppose me in this matter again. Furthermore, whether I am absurd or not has much impact on his interests.

I took advantage of this and immediately issued an edict to start the issuance of national debts. The annual interest rate is 8%. Nowadays, money is stored in the bank, but there is no interest in the bank, and some management expenses are also subsidized.

Now that lending it to the country is a very safe thing, and it can generate 8% of the interest every year. According to Liu Zhenming's estimate, there will be many rich people who will make some attempts within the first year.

Huh. The money matter has been basically solved successfully. My heart has finally been let go.
